As

know my loyal fans (?) do not carry too much time in the world of post-rock, and still need to hear bands "required of the genre, but I discovered some bands of non-mainstream highly recommended ... Yndi
Halda is a musical group originally from Canterbury, England. We can say that place are progressive and experimental roots, although they are completely removed from the "Canterbury Scene". Yndi Halda, in an ancient language not remember which is, just means the title of this album "Enjoy Eternal Bliss."
This record, which at first was an EP in 2006 was remastered with the addition of the 3rd song, and released as LP. As I have understood at the moment have nothing else made this album and a demo, although the musicians continue with this project and others. Do not know too much about the band, are also very poorly understood. This is my first great discovery thanks to lastfm, I say, as a basis of color (?). Influences
groups, to name something: Explosions in the sky, Amiina, God Speed \u200b\u200bYou! Black Emperor, Slow Six, Sigur Ros ...

Musically pointing to a post-rock in the middle of situable Explosions in the Sky and God Speed \u200b\u200bYou! Black Emperor with perhaps more experimental quota. Predominates, as one of the predominant features, the role of the violin and classical influences, combined with typical post-rock passages style long and broad crescendos that are slow in coming but when they cause an explosion of music.
a very valuable asset, and that makes the album seem so interesting to me is the management of shades, to move from music, governed by the violin and another rope to something electric and rocking, or another place close to the experimental progressive music.
length songs, surpassing the 15 minutes in 3 of them, help to expose and share many ideas, in which the battery is a purely post-rock, but with more variations of the usual on gender. The violin adds classical music, the other strings or wind items added occasional experimental guitar duo are bringing in some passages sound to post-rock "classic" Explosions in the Sky, and the bass tends to push, almost always from background, to combine and consolidate the mixture of sounds.
As I put in the title of the review, I consider it "a jewel", mainly because the band is unclear, although lastfm has heard enough, and because it is so far the only thing the band released. In addition, because it is so easy to win the qualifier jewel (?) That achieve an original sound, a musical genre en el que uno no espera justamente eso, o al menos en un género en el que la originalidad no es lo más importante, ellos lo logran consiguen un sonido bastante propio y ameno, entre lo experimental, lo ambiental, el rock y el post-rock.

Segundo tema del disco, "We flood empty Lakes", el crescendo llegando al minuto 10 es hermoso, como el tema entero, aunque el video no tenga buena calidad...
